lareinenoireI had a truly bizarre idea pop into my head last night, fully fledged enough that I literally got up out of bed to write a few notes before going back to sleep.
The first season of Veronica Mars and the revenge tragedy (specifically Hamlet and The Duchess of Malfi)
Seamy underworld filled with extremely untrustworthy people. Constant switching of sides, the dead not staying dead, secrets, unreliable narrators, insanity, incest, adultery, Machiavellian types trying to control everything and everyone around them, the innocent heroine caught in the middle and nearly destroyed--
Except that Veronica isn't. I'm still not sure what that says beyond 'This is a television series and killing off the main character at the end of the first season also kills off the chances of a second season'. But these are just very preliminary thoughts anyway.
a. Conceivable topic for a conference paper?
b. Complete and utter crack. Your brain deserves a proverbial straitjacket.
Still trying to come up with something for 'Retelling Tales'. Who'd have thought producing an abstract from something you've already written would be so damned difficult?
